#John Krasinski’s Thanksgiving Fantasy Comedy Adds Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Krasinski and Reynolds are both known for their very particular brands of humor with Krasinski’s relatable everyman style and Reynolds’ penchant for irreverence, which is wildly different than that of Shaw and Waller-Bridge. In particular, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is hailed for her deep character building and reluctant vulnerability, something that has earned her Emmy awards and a gig contributing to the James Bond script “No Time to Die.”

Interestingly enough, Waller-Bridge and Shaw have collaborated multiple times in the past, with Shaw starring on “Killing Eve” which Waller-Bridge created, as well as guest starrng on “Fleabag.” For both portrayals, Shaw earned Emmy nominations.

The film is being produced by Krasinski under his Sunday Night Productions banner alongside partners Allyson Seeger and Andrew Form. Ryan Reynolds is also producing through his company Maximum Effort, with George Dewey of Maximum Effort also executive producing. The film comes as part of Krasinski and Reynolds’ companies’ first-look deals with Paramount. Krasinski’s untitled comedy is due out in theaters November 17, 2023. No information regarding Paramount+ has been made available, but it’s safe to assume there will be more details as production moves forward.
